ShipBob powers logistics and fulfillment for thousands of e-commerce businesses, providing them with in-house shipping and advanced technology for Amazon-scale logistics. ShipBob utilizes proprietary software that helps its customers better predict trends, shopping habits and geographic insights across multiple industries and selling channels. The software powers ShipBob's multiple fulfillment centers across the country - Chicago, Los Angeles, New York and now San Francisco - to provide same-day fulfillment and ground service for package delivery in 1-2 business days. ShipBob has shipped more than two million packages to date, and is growing the business 500 percent year over year.

"The investment from Bain Capital Ventures gives us the ability to scale faster and serve the needs of this rapidly growing e-commerce market," said Dhruv Saxena, co-founder and CEO of ShipBob. "We are raising the bar for what best-in-class service means in the shipping and logistics space. We will continue to innovate and expand to serve e-commerce businesses across the country."

Founded in 2014, ShipBob was launched through Y Combinator by Saxena and co-founder Divey Gulati, two entrepreneurs who saw a need for more efficient shipping in the marketplace. ShipBob's solution focuses on the unique needs of direct-to-consumer retail brands and their need to manage inventory and ship orders safely and quickly.

"ShipBob has quickly developed a leadership position in the e-commerce market, offering a unique software-and-services platform that meets the need for fast fulfillment," said Ajay Agarwal, managing director of Bain Capital Ventures. "What Dhruv, Divey and team have developed over the last three years is impressive, and we're excited to help them grow ShipBob into a shipping and logistics powerhouse."

Bain Capital Ventures has in-depth experience working with entrepreneurs to support the supply chain ecosystem. The firm was an early investor in Kiva Systems, which automated e-commerce distribution centers through a combination of autonomous robots, mobile shelving, and software. Kiva was acquired by Amazon.com in 2012 for $775 million. Agarwal, who led Bain's Kiva investment, will be joining the ShipBob board of directors.
